A devastating explosion at a police station in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir has resulted in the deaths of at least nine individuals and left 29 others injured. The incident occurred late on Friday at the Nowgam police station, where a stockpile of confiscated explosives detonated unexpectedly. Among the deceased were several police officers and forensic team members who were in the process of examining the stored materials. The blast’s intensity was so severe that body parts were reportedly found in nearby homes, situated approximately 100 to 200 meters away from the site. Emergency services, including fire tenders, were promptly dispatched to the scene to manage the aftermath. This tragic event follows closely on the heels of a car explosion in New Delhi, which claimed eight lives and was labeled a terrorist act by the Indian government. The ongoing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, a region both nations claim in its entirety, continues to be a source of tension and conflict. The police chief of Jammu and Kashmir is scheduled to hold a press conference to provide further details on the incident.
